Equinix,
Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the global interconnection and data center
company, today announced that ChinaCache,
the leading total solutions provider of Internet content and application
delivery services in China, has expanded its services in Asia-Pacific
with Platform
Equinix™. This new deployment in Equinix’s International Business
Exchange (IBX®) data center in Hong Kong, in addition to ChinaCache’s
presence in eight existing Equinix locations worldwide, allows customers
to access ChinaCache’s services in key markets across three major
continents including New York, Washington D.C., Silicon Valley, Dallas,
Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, Paris and Hong Kong. Platform Equinix
enables ChinaCache to deliver a better end-user experience to its
customers in these regions through improved overall availability and
performance.

Highlights / Key Facts

By 2016 China is expected to become the largest Internet traffic
market with 670 million Internet users, while Asia will become the
dominant source of web traffic with a 42 per cent share, surpassing
North America1. To cope with this anticipated rise in
demand, ChinaCache decided to increase its nodes inside Equinix’s data
centers and leverage Equinix’s global footprint to expand its presence
in Asia-Pacific.

ChinaCache is the leading content delivery network provider in China
with approximately 13,000 servers, as well as global nodes in Europe,
Asia and the Americas. It provides comprehensive solutions for
delivering content and applications throughout China and Asia to
worldwide customers who desire to target these markets. ChinaCache’s
deployment in Equinix’s data center in Hong Kong will help it capture
the increase in demand from companies in Asia-Pacific seeking to
access data and applications from China, as well as supply data and
application-intensive services to China.

From media to enterprise and e-commerce, ChinaCache’s customers
operate in a number of different industries with varying demand for
bandwidth and performance. By peering through the Equinix Internet
Exchange (EIE),
ChinaCache can interconnect directly with its business partners and
networks. As a result it can optimize access, latency and uptime
performance by eliminating network hops and increase network
efficiency while reducing transit costs of bandwidth.

Equinix’s Marketplace
of enterprises, service providers and content companies also enables
ChinaCache to cross connect quickly and efficiently to multiple high
value customers to grow its revenue. In addition, by expanding its
coverage inside Equinix’s global data centers, ChinaCache is ensured
the scalability it needs to develop more service offerings and expand
into new markets to quickly respond and adapt to future market demand.
